    Have you been able to collect any MPG info as yet?
    Thanks! Haven't had to fill up yet, and the "miles to go" function on the information display is notoriously persnicketty as the fuel winds down, but so far it's looking like a pretty significant MPG increase

      Re: Putting The Gt-R on the vert

      Couple things to update:

      1. Sound is definitely getting better, or I'm getting used to it Either way, is DEFINITELY a fun time to be had!

      2. Mileage - it really seemed like I was getting fantastic mileage per the DIC, but then the typical quick drop off in "Fuel Range" as I got below 1/2 tank made it seem a little dicier. Pre-GTR, and with plenty o' heavy footed driving, I was getting in the ballpark of 15-16 mpg. Welp, I filled up tonight and the verdict was.....{drum roll smiley}......16.4 mpg.

      So, an improvement over what I had, though not as dramatic as what I thought it would be. Well, I put in 93 this time so we'll see if that makes any sort of difference.

        LOL, 93 will just affect your wallet.

          but Sam recommended 93 for the first fillup (which I missed since I filled up the day before I got it installed), so it's a one-time part of the "break in" process deal. Then again, if mpg or @WOT increases enough...

              No, it will actually help performance some what. Do you understand how the ECM works on these cars?
